    Kimpton Clocktower is a great hotel and we would definitely stay here again.

    Nothing to do with the hotel but be aware, Uber didn’t like picking up from outside the hotel for some reason and I had issues with two separate drivers, one who tried to charge me waiting time - when he was parked up in another location - and one who cancelled our trip because we wouldn’t walk over to the train station where he was parked! The hotel reception staff are very helpful and can order you a local cab.

    Beautiful hotel. Lovely room. Comfy beds. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. We were given a room upgrade on arrival - which was a lovely surprise. Our room had a door connecting the two bedroom areas which gave us two private spaces. As I was travelling with my mum, and she likes to get up quite a bit earlier than me, this was perfect! We were travelling to be together on Mother’s Day and the housekeeping team also left a couple of treats in the room.

    We had booked a room with single beds through booking.com but the hotel could not accommodate this within the price booked. They did offer us a room with 2 double beds which should have been an extra £100 but as a good will gesture they offered it to us for an extra £50 which we had to take , we were not expecting to pay out extra. The only other point , although the room was great there was no dressing table and mirror to be able to get ready , the only mirror was the bathroom mirror and obviously had no plug in there if you wanted to dry your hair

    The room was spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. You could not hear any outside noise and the breakfast was very good. The location for our trip was excellent and that it was only a 3 minute walk from the station.

    Honestly nothing , we loved it all. Room, breakfast, service. All great.

    The room we stayed in the first night , room 257 was AMAZING! We did move on night 2 because of the train noise in room 257 which was unfortunate as we loved it. Shout out to Tess on reception, she was super helpful and so lovely.

    Room was pretty small for the price, but comfortable bed, nice linens, fluffy towels and a good shower. At 9.15pm on a Monday the only vacant tables in the bar hadn’t been cleared and no snacks available. Bathroom not properly cleaned during my stay.

    Beautiful old red brick building that was an old insurance offices restored from Manchesters mercantile glory days. Stunning foyer. Vast and stylish bar with proper cocktails at a reasonable price.Had dinner with friends - lots of sharing plates which were all delicious and the service was charming.Good plentiful varied breakfast with nice touches like healthy shots. All of the staff were lovely. Good teas coffees and snacks in the room - fresh milk in the fridge - and a loan umbrella in the wardrobe. Very convenient for Oxford Road station and the Universities.
